Hear from Our Customers
You need flowers that arrive fresh and stay fresh. Not something that wilts by tomorrow morning or looks nothing like what you ordered online. Not a half-empty arrangement that makes you regret spending the money.
Every bouquet gets made fresh when you order it. We source from quality growers, design each arrangement by hand, and deliver same day throughout West Village. You get exactly what you see in the photo—no substitutions unless we call you first, no dying stems, no buyer’s remorse.
Whether you’re sending flowers to an apartment on Grove Street, an office near Hudson Street, or your own brownstone by Abingdon Square, you’ll know exactly when they’re arriving. Most orders get delivered within a few hours of being placed. You can track your delivery in real time, so you’re never stuck wondering if they made it or if they’re sitting on a truck somewhere in Midtown.
Columbia Midtown Florist has been serving Manhattan customers for years, and we understand what West Village residents actually want from a flower store. You’re not looking for generic arrangements from a faceless national chain that ships flowers from across the country three days before they arrive. You want fresh, local, and reliable. You want someone who knows the difference between a walk-up on Jane Street and a doorman building on West 12th.
We’re a family-owned flower shop that takes orders online and delivers throughout the neighborhood seven days a week. We know how to navigate the narrow cobblestone streets, the historic townhouses, the restaurants along Bleecker, and the businesses that give this area its character. We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in New York City—we’re focused on being the most dependable one. The one you come back to because the flowers showed up on time, looked great, and lasted more than 48 hours.
Place your order online anytime through our website. Browse the flowers for sale, pick an arrangement that fits your occasion and budget, and select your preferred delivery time. We offer same-day flower delivery if you order before our cutoff—typically early afternoon—and next-day delivery for orders placed later in the evening.
Once your order comes through, we start designing your arrangement by hand in our Manhattan studio. We pull fresh flowers from our daily inventory, arrange them to match the style you selected, and prepare them for delivery. This process takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. Nothing sits pre-made in a cooler waiting for someone to order it.
Your flowers get hand-delivered directly to the West Village address you provide. We’ve been navigating this neighborhood long enough to know which buildings have doormen, which streets are one-way, and what time of day works best for different areas. You’ll receive tracking updates as your order moves from our flower shop to its destination. You’ll get confirmation once it’s been delivered. If there’s any issue with building access or timing, we’ll contact you or the recipient directly to figure it out—we don’t just leave flowers on a random doorstep and hope for the best.
Ready to get started?
Every order includes fresh flowers arranged by hand in our Manhattan location. You’re not getting pre-made bouquets that have been sitting in refrigeration for days. Each arrangement is designed when you order it, using flowers that arrived fresh that morning from our suppliers.
We deliver throughout West Village to residential addresses, office buildings, restaurants, retail shops, and local businesses. ZIP code 10014 is our core delivery area, covering everything from the Hudson River waterfront to Sixth Avenue, from 14th Street down to Houston. We make multiple delivery runs throughout the day to ensure your flowers arrive during your requested time window. Same-day flower delivery is available for orders placed before our daily cutoff time. Rush delivery is available if you need flowers delivered within a tighter window—just call us directly to confirm we can accommodate your timing.
You can customize your order with specific colors or flower types if you have preferences. Want all white blooms? Prefer roses over lilies? Need to avoid certain flowers due to allergies? Just tell us in the order notes or call before you place your order. While some seasonal flowers like peonies or ranunculus may not always be in stock, we’ll work with you to create an arrangement that matches your vision. Add-ons like premium vases, chocolates, or a personalized card are available at checkout.
Pricing is transparent from start to finish. What you see online is what you pay, with delivery fees clearly listed based on your specific West Village address before you complete your order. No hidden charges, no surprise fees when your credit card gets processed. If you’re ordering flowers for sale for a special occasion—Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, anniversaries—we recommend ordering at least a day in advance to guarantee availability and your preferred delivery time.
Yes, same-day flower delivery is available throughout West Village if you place your order before our cutoff time. Most days, that’s early afternoon—usually between 2pm and 3pm depending on how busy our delivery schedule is.
Once you order, we start designing your arrangement right away. Most deliveries arrive within 2 to 4 hours of being placed, though exact timing depends on your specific location in the neighborhood and our route that day. You’ll get tracking updates via email or text so you know when to expect arrival.
If you need flowers delivered on a tight deadline—like within the next hour or two for a last-minute birthday or apology—call us directly at the number on our website. We can often accommodate rush requests, especially for deliveries going to nearby addresses in West Village. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can make it happen or if you’re better off choosing a later delivery window.
Every arrangement is made by hand to match the design you see in the photo on our website. We don’t send generic substitutions or half-empty bouquets that look nothing like what you ordered. We reference the product photos while we’re designing to ensure consistency.
If we’re missing a specific flower due to seasonal availability or supply issues, we’ll contact you before making any changes. You’ll have the option to approve a substitution, choose a different flower, or select a completely different arrangement. We don’t make those decisions without your input, and we definitely don’t just swap in whatever’s cheap and available.
Our flowers come from quality growers and arrive fresh each morning at our flower store. When your arrangement is delivered to its West Village destination, it should look full, vibrant, and professionally designed—matching the style you selected online. If something doesn’t meet that standard when it arrives, contact us immediately and we’ll make it right. That might mean a replacement arrangement, a refund, or a credit toward your next order, depending on the situation.
We deliver flowers throughout the entire West Village neighborhood, covering ZIP code 10014 from the Hudson River waterfront to Sixth Avenue. That includes all the residential streets like Perry Street, Charles Street, Bank Street, and Horatio Street. We deliver to apartment buildings, townhouses, office spaces, restaurants, boutiques, and businesses throughout the area.
We know the neighborhood well—the narrow cobblestone streets, the walk-up buildings without elevators, the doorman buildings with strict delivery protocols, the hidden courtyards, the quirky building access situations. Whether your order is going to a fourth-floor walk-up on Christopher Street, a ground-floor restaurant on Bleecker Street, or a corporate office near Washington Square Park, we can get it there.
Delivery fees are based on your specific address and distance from our flower shop. They’re shown clearly at checkout before you complete your order, so there are no surprises. If you’re unsure whether we deliver to your exact location in or around West Village, enter your address on our website or give us a call—we’ll confirm coverage and give you an estimated delivery time.
Fresh flowers typically last 5 to 10 days with proper care, depending on the flower type and how well they’re maintained. Hardier flowers like roses, lilies, alstroemeria, and chrysanthemums tend to last longer—often a week or more. More delicate blooms like tulips, peonies, or hydrangeas may have a shorter vase life, usually 5 to 7 days.
When your flowers arrive, trim about half an inch off each stem at a 45-degree angle using sharp scissors or garden shears. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline in the vase—those leaves will rot and contaminate the water. Fill your vase with fresh, cool water and place the arrangement somewhere away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or drafty windows.
Change the water every 2 to 3 days, re-trim the stems slightly each time, and your flowers should stay fresh for their full lifespan. Because we deliver flowers the same day they’re arranged—and because they’re sourced fresh that morning from our suppliers—you’re getting maximum vase life. You’re not receiving flowers that have been shipped cross-country in a box or sitting in cold storage for days before delivery. That makes a real difference in how long they last once they reach their destination in West Village.
Yes, you can request specific flowers or color preferences when you place your order for flowers for sale. Just include those details in the special instructions section at checkout, or call us directly to discuss exactly what you have in mind before ordering.
We’ll do our best to accommodate your requests, but some flowers are seasonal or may not be available on short notice—especially specialty blooms like peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, or specific orchid varieties. If we can’t source exactly what you’re asking for, we’ll contact you with alternative options before creating your arrangement. You’ll have the final say on whether the substitution works or if you’d prefer to choose something different entirely.
Custom requests work best when you give us advance notice—ideally at least 24 hours, especially for hard-to-find flowers or very specific color palettes. But even for same-day flower delivery orders in West Village, we can usually adjust colors or styles to match your general preferences. Want more pink and less purple? Prefer a loose, garden-style arrangement instead of a tight, formal one? We can make those adjustments as long as you communicate them clearly when you order.
If the recipient isn’t home when we arrive, we’ll follow the instructions you provide at checkout. You can specify whether to leave the flowers with a doorman, a neighbor, or at the door if it’s a safe, sheltered location where they won’t be stolen or damaged.
For apartment buildings in West Village without doormen, we’ll attempt to contact the recipient by phone or building buzzer. If we can’t reach anyone and there’s no safe place to leave the arrangement, we’ll contact you directly to reschedule or arrange an alternative delivery time. We don’t just abandon flowers on a busy street corner and call it delivered.
If you’re concerned about timing or building access, you can add detailed delivery instructions in the notes section when you order. Things like “call recipient 10 minutes before arrival,” “deliver after 5pm when they’re home from work,” or “leave with doorman in lobby—building name is on the awning” are all helpful. The more specific you are about the West Village location and any access quirks, the easier it is for us to ensure successful delivery on the first attempt.
